One of our activities for the second session is drawing our lifeline and sharing this with the friend.  I appreciate that some of you will upload this to share with those outside the classroom so that they will be instructive and inspirational to others.

I wrote this as a guide/template for our activity today

1.  Born to a poor couple, Mother was an elementary graduate, Father was high school graduate, a laborer at a provincial govt office.  They were both children of farmer and fisherman Grew in a place that was not ours (now called informal settlers)

2.  Exposed early to many challenges. very early in life Mother planted rice, did laundry for others, etc.  Ate "bakaw" fish and shrimp scrounged from seashells (suso) to be fed to ducks at fish port, riverbanks.  Helped mother with duck, chicken, and pig raising.  Had to lift cement bags when we went into cement retailing.  Accompanied trucks drivers to cement deliveries when  there were bulk deliveries

3.  Graduated with honors at elementary.   This gave me a test of being a winner and can do attitude.
